pH 6.0 (yellow) - pH 7.6 (blue) Ready-to-use reagent. Prepared with ACS reagent grade Bromothymol Blue and high purity water. Suitable for laboratory use.

Product Overview

Bromothymol Blue is a sulfonephthalein pH indicator commonly used to monitor pH changes near neutrality. It exhibits a distinct color change from yellow to blue over the pH range of 6.0 to 7.6, making it especially useful in environmental testing, biological experiments, and buffer systems that operate close to physiological pH.

The indicator is also widely used in photosynthesis demonstrations, carbon dioxide detection, and fermentation studies, where pH shifts occur as a result of biological activity. Its clear and reversible color transition makes it a valuable teaching and diagnostic tool.

Key Features:

  • pH transition range: 6.0 (yellow) to 7.6 (blue)
  • Green color observed near neutral pH
  • Suitable for aqueous systems and cell-based studies
  • Available in powder and ready-to-use solution formats
  • Highly visible, stable, and easy to use

Applications:

  • pH monitoring in neutral-buffer systems and cell culture – media
  • Biological respiration and photosynthesis experiments
  • COâ‚‚ detection in fermentation or metabolic assays
  • Environmental water quality testing
  • Educational demonstrations and lab instruction

Bromothymol Blue provides reliable, easy-to-interpret pH indication in systems where neutrality or near-neutral pH is critical, making it a favorite across teaching labs, research settings, and environmental monitoring applications.
